What percentage of daily calories from saturated and trans fats is recommended to be limited?

  1. 5%

  2. 10%

  3. 15%

  4. 20%

The correct answer is: 10%

The recommendation to limit daily calories from saturated and trans fats to 10% is based on guidance from health organizations such as the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization. These fats are known to raise levels of LDL cholesterol, which can contribute to the risk of heart disease and stroke. By capping the intake at 10%, individuals can reduce their overall risk of cardiovascular disease while still allowing for some flexibility in their diet. This limit helps to promote a heart-healthy eating pattern that prioritizes unsaturated fats, which are more beneficial for health, along with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources.
